"Best City in the U.S. for Commuters"The region's short commutes save time, save money, and improve workforce
productivity. In fact, Kiplinger named Rochester the Best City in the
U.S. for Commuters. This ranking was based on the city's low congestion cost
(a measurement of wasted time and fuel calculated by the Texas Transportation
Institute) along with average length of commute, local gas prices, yearly delays
per commuter and public transit use.
